Founded in 1920, they won their first and only Scudetto in 1969–70, when they were led by the Italian national team's all-time leading scorer, Gigi Riva. The triumph was also the first by a club from south of Rome. The club's best performance in European competition came in the 1993–94 UEFA Cup, where they reached the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Internazionale.
As with the flag of its city, Cagliari's colours are blue and red. The club badge incorporates the flag of Sardinia.
Before Serie A
Cagliari became the first ever out-right champions of Serie C during the 1951–52 season; prior to that in the league, the championship was shared amongst more than one team.[citation needed] They spent the 1950s from then on in Serie B, losing a promotion play-off in 1954.[citation needed] After descending to Serie C in the early 1960s, Cagliari's rise would be meteoric,[tone] eventually achieving promotion to Serie A in 1964.
First Serie A adventure: 1964–1976
The squad for the Rossoblu's debut season in Serie A featured players like defender Mario Martiradonna, midfielders Pierluigi Cera, Nené and Ricciotti Greatti, and forward Gigi Riva.[citation needed] A poor first half of the season, however, saw Cagliari in last place with nine points at the halfway mark.[citation needed] An astonishing[tone] second half of the season saw Cagliari defeat the likes of[tone] Juventus and Milan and finish in seventh place with 34 points.[citation needed] Two seasons later, Riva finished as Serie A's top scorer for the first time while Cagliari finished with the league's best defensive record.
During the summer of 1967, Cagliari played a season in North America as part of a fledgling league called the United Soccer Association.[citation needed] This league included teams from Europe and South America set to play in American and Canadian cities, with each club bearing a local name.[citation needed] Cagliari played as the Chicago Mustangs, and finished joint second in the league's Western Division with 13 points, two behind the division champion and eventual league champion Los Angeles Wolves.[citation needed] The league's leading scorer was Chicago/Cagliari's Roberto Boninsegna, who scored ten goals while playing in 9 of the team's 12 games.
Cagliari first emerged as serious Serie A title contenders in 1968–69 with a three-horse race involving them, Fiorentina and Milan.[citation needed] Fiorentina would win the league, but the following season would bring ultimate glory.[tone][citation needed] With Angelo Domenghini joining the side, Cagliari would win the title in 1970 with only two games lost, 11 goals conceded (the fewest in any major European league to date) and Riva as league top scorer once more.[citation needed] Players like Albertosi, Niccolai, Boninsegna, Gori, Cera, Domenghini and Riva played in Italy's 1970 World Cup final team.
The 1970s would see a gradual decline (though were title contenders[who?] two years after their one and only Scudetto win).[citation needed] Cagliari were finally relegated in 1976, with Riva's career having effectively ended during that season.
Up and down again: 1976–87
After relegation, Cagliari lost a play-off for promotion the following season and would return to Serie A in 1979.[citation needed] Players like Franco Selvaggi, Mario Brugnera (a survivor of the 1970 team) and Alberto Marchetti ensured a respectable four-year stay in the top flight before a second relegation in 1983.[citation needed] The 1980s would then prove to be a darker time[tone] compared to the previous two decades with relegation to Serie C1 in 1987.
There and back: 1987–2000
Cagliari spent two seasons in Serie C1.[citation needed] In the first one it barely avoided relegation in Serie C2.[citation needed] In 1988, Claudio Ranieri was appointed coach, and led the team to two successive promotions, to Serie B in 1989 and to Serie A in 1990.[citation needed] The first two seasons back in Serie A saw Cagliari fight relegation, with safety being achieved by excellent[tone][vague] second half runs.[citation needed] But the 1992–93 season would see Cagliari fight for a European place and succeed under the management of Carlo Mazzone.[citation needed] The following season saw a best-ever run to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, taking out Juventus in the quarter-finals[citation needed] before being eliminated 5–3 on aggregate by compatriots Internazionale, having won the first leg 3–2 at home.[1]
The next few years[when?][quantify][vague] would see Cagliari return to mid-table anonymity, before a struggle[clarification needed][tone] in 1996–97 saw Cagliari relegated after losing a play-off to Piacenza.[citation needed] Once more they bounced back[tone] after just one year, but their next stay in Serie A lasted just two seasons.
Once and again: 2000 onwards
Cagliari spent the next four seasons in Serie B, until in 2003–04 with Sardinian-born veteran striker Gianfranco Zola, the team won promotion.[2] In 2005–06, the first season without Zola, the team changed their manager three times before Nedo Sonetti, appointed in November, was able to save the team from relegation, especially thanks to the excellent[tone] goal contribution from Honduran striker David Suazo.
Apart from finishing 9th in 2008–09 season, Cagliari regularly finished in the bottom half of Serie A under a sequence of managers, before being relegated in 2014–15.[3] They gained promotion back the following season as champions of Serie B.[4]
In 2014, the company passed, after 22 years of Massimo Cellino's presidency, into the hands of Tommaso Giulini, president and owner of Fluorsid, a multinational in the chemical sector.[citation needed] Relegation took place in the first season, but the team won the Serie B championship in 2016, returning permanently[why?] to the top division, albeit always finishing in the second half of the table.[citation needed] Cagliari was relegated at the end of the 2021–22 season.[citation needed] They reappointed Claudio Ranieri halfway through the 2022–23 season with the club in fourteenth place.[citation needed] Under Ranieri's management, Cagliari won the 2022–23 Serie B playoffs.
Cagliari moved from the Stadio Amsicora to the Stadio Sant'Elia in 1970, after winning their only league title. It was renovated for Italy's hosting of the 1990 FIFA World Cup, when it hosted all of England's group games, ostensibly to confine the team's notorious hooligans to an island.[5]
Disputes with the city council over renovation of the publicly owned stadium meant that Cagliari played their final home games of 2011–12 at the Stadio Nereo Rocco in Trieste on the Italian mainland.[6] For most of the following season, the club played at the Stadio Is Arenas in the neighbouring municipality of Quartu Sant'Elena. It was deemed unsafe by the league, forcing them to play behind closed doors before leaving the ground in April 2013.[7] The Sant'Elia was demolished for a new stadium in 2017, and the club moved to the temporary Sardegna Arena next to it.[8]
The official red and blue colours of Cagliari mirror those featured on the stemma of Cagliari.[9] The red parts of the stemma are a reference to the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, a family which was previously the monarchy of Italy and more relevantly to Cagliari in particular, the Kingdom of Sardinia.[9] The blue part of the stemma features the sky and the sea, also a castle; this is because the old historic centre of Cagliari is walled and called the Castello.[9] Due to the use of these colours on their shirt in halves, the club is commonly nicknamed rossoblu.[10]
Cagliari have had several different logo designs during their history, all of which feature the flag of Sardinia.[11] Usually the badge also features the club colours; if there is a change, the main difference has been the colour of the border or the shape.[11] Since June 2015, the badge features an "Old French"-shaped escutcheon with red and blue halves, with the club's name written in white just above the flag of Sardinia. The Moors' heads have, for the first time, been turned to the right as of 2015 so as to match the Sardinian flag after it was updated in 1992.[12]
Due to the fact that Cagliari are the main club from the island of Sardinia, they are nicknamed the "Isolani" ("Islanders").[13]
